Yuh Okano, a Japan born, for 20 years textile artist in Brooklyn NY and moved to Chestertown MD in 2020 to focus on Yuh's creative work. Yuh's pieces are invitingly tactile. They employ a range of color and texture that strives to be as subtle and finely detailed as the organic forms her works suggest through her signature technique, Shibori. Their soft feel and gently flowing shapes evoke a sense of connection with plant life, flowers, and ocean creatures.
